The members of the Sophomore team Were: Libby Phillips, Muriel Osborne. and Pauline Busch. Mazine Cozart was the alternate on the team and certainly made an ideal one. She Worked with the teams at all times and our only regret was that when her opportunity to speak came, she debated with the Freshmen team at Kansas City, Kansas, Junior College. The members of the Freshmen team werez Dorothy Hook, Helen Mc- Leese and Elizabeth Klautz. Wilma Weeks was the alternate. Although she did not have a chance to speak we feel she would have been very capable had the occasion arisen. The question for debate was: Re- F rs KLAUTZ WEEKS solved, that a substitute for trial by jury should be adopted. After much preparation and many hours spent at the library the teams were ready for the first debate of the year. This was the annual debate between the two classes, and the Freshmen were victorious. The next debate was scheduled with the College of Emporia and our Sophomore team. The debate was a very interesting as well as enter- taining one. The debaters from Emporia maintained that the jury system should be kept for some cases, advocating that a substitute could be had Without discarding the present system. This called for the match- ing of wits' on both sides and our girls gained the decision. Another debate! This time boys were the opponents. Again the Sophomores took the negative side of 4, g QW-.. , ...fe-, ff 'ff f- A - - K ,ff f f, 1 M.

The debate was held in the evening and the interest was high for never before had Teachers College girls debated against boys. A unanimous decision in favor of the girls' was rendered!! Our Freshmen debate team with the exception of Mazine Cozart, who was a Sophomore, debated the affirm- ative side of the question against the negative of the boys from Kansas City, Kansas. Junior College. An- other unanimous decision and the debate was ours. An unbroken record of inter- scholastic victory for both teams, so far. Everyone was eager to see what the last scheduled decision debate would bring forth. The debate was between our aflirmative and the Kansas City School of Law negative. The girls again brought home the bacon. But that was not the end of the debating season. Another debate be- tween the Sophomores and the Fresh- men was' staged for the benefit of an audience at the Linwood Forum. Then the Cooperative Club heard Muriel for the negative, and Eliza- beth representing the aflirmative. The debating season ended with a debate at Maryville, Missouri. There Pauline and Libby met strong com- petition from the Northwest State Teachers College. This was a non- decision debate. Thus culminated the debating season of 1929, extend- ing from January 28 to April 5. Mr. Price was the debate coach and much of the credit for such an inter- esting schedule of debates belongs to him. He worked untiringly with the girls. Also Mr. Price sponsored an inter- scholastic public speaking tourna- ment. The tournament was held at Kansas City, Kansas, Junior College. Ten schools were entered. Dorothy Glass from Teachers College entered the extemporaneous speaking contest and carried away first honors. Ruth Freeman won third place in declama- tion, Lee Swigart represented us in the extemporaneous speaking for boys, and Gwendolyn Kephart placed fourth in the oration contest. It is the hope of enthusiastic mem- bers of T. C. that more contests of this nature should be held and that next year more entrants from T. C. will be obvious. f, .L If ,4,.. - if , f -ff- XA g .
